While even Inspector Thomas Brackenreid spends a hot day on the beach of lake Toronto, where Mason Alexander's soap company holds a 'Miss Purity' pageant to recruit a publicity face, candidate Buchanan's corpse beaches up, with apparent monster-size bite marks. While the inspector believes his own eyes and other 'aquatic minster sightings', otherwise superstitious George voices due skepsis. Murdoch and Julia enjoy collaborating on the exotic 'dino survivor' theory, but William duly concentrates on more regular suspicions, like boyfriend James Bennett, who recently dumped her for rival competitor Marie Nicholson, who falsely pretended to carry his baby. Retired Royal Navy Captain Squires's sea monster sighting also proves very fishy, lies come bite him like the bear traps he uses to ward off intruding beach-goers.
